Subject: RE: Stoneage Equipment


Like anyplace. They might sell something eventually. Closest place I never bought a machine. Often he had stuff like I was looking for. Small place but +8 tractors, + grain carts, +7 discs, +8 springtooths, dozen gravity boxes… on good gravel. But prices were high 15 years ago. On parts +40% more then actual dealership. (But close so sometimes bought)
So I would look over used stuff, see what needed repair, go in, get price way over market. Look around, find better, cheaper . @5 yrs ago a Frankenstein disc. IH 626 converted to 3900 after blades worn out. New heavier spring/cushions, bearings, blades, few supports relocated…. But looked like well done.
Made low offer, he took it. Used it hard. Have done fields for neighbor… 3 mud scrapers to replace & 1 hose.so far so good. (Forgot on wing wheel cracked weld). That pin is rusted in, broke the part that forces it to turn. Fairly common. Unneeded.
